Assessing the Impact of Heterogeneous Pressure on the Lifespan of Lithium-Ion Battery Cells
The lifespan and performance of lithium-ion battery cells are highly dependent on cycling conditions, particularly mechanical stress. The relationship between stress and lifespan has gained significant attention in recent research (Li et al., 2022). But several key questions remain unresolved: • To what extent can a flexible compression system extend cell lifespan compared to conventional […]
From laboratory to application – Differences between small and large Li- and Na-ion battery cells
The development of batteries with new materials typically starts with small active material amounts and consequently with small cells, often with thin electrode coatings and in half cells. As development progresses from the laboratory to increasing technology readiness level (TRL), full cells, in particular mid-sized and large cells with thicker electrode coatings are mandatory. However, […]
Opportunities for online diagnostics of safety critical ageing conditions: What about OCV-ICA?
Li-ion batteries are more prone to fires than other battery technologies due to their inherent higher energy density as well as the flammability of especially electrode materials, separator, and electrolyte solvents. Ageing and degradation can contribute to considerably decrease the safety of a Li-ion battery, but the exact impact from ageing on safety of battery […]

Unveiling Behavioral Patterns in BEV Operation
The service lifetime of traction batteries of Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs) is significant for the adoption of BEVs in the market. Many customers are afraid of the longevity of the battery and hesitate to buy a new vehicle. Therefore, in the near future new regulations will come into force to establish a common standard across […]
Multi-analytical characterization of temperature dependent aging mechanisms in commercial Lithium-ion batteries with Si/graphite anodes
The performance and longevity of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are significantly influenced by operating conditions such as C-rate and voltage range during cycling. This study investigates the aging mechanisms of LIBs under high-stress conditions, with a specific focus on the differences between aging at high and low C-rates across varying voltage ranges. Using a combination of […]

Characterisation of structural and chemical changes from the macroscopic to the nanoscopic scale of Li-ion batteries for a battery ageing database
It is important to quickly categorise used batteries in order to determine their end-of-life, explore second-life applications and ensure safe storage and transportation. We have developed the database of battery ageing for such an analysis tool. Li-ion batteries were modified within and outside their specifications to induce possible ageing phenomena. EIS measurements were taken to […]
